What are they going to do? Fire me? These are the real numbers for the LS7 that will power the yet to be named Dream Z.

681 HP @ 6800 RPM
588 LB / FT @ 5600 RPM

All motor, no blower weight, no FI heat soak, smooth throttle response.

Is that 681 HP at the Wheels or Crank ?
Eithor way, it's very cool. One of the LS7 Conversions that sticks in my mind that I saw in person was 585HP at the wheels. I think the Pedders car is clearly moving up to the next level from what I have seen.

Is this the mythical (no longer) 100k Camaro? Sounds like it will be a beast!

We should be close to 620 at the rears. The TQ is what I am really excited about. It comes on low , fat and flat. That will make the Project Z predictable. Predictable is fast. It will be a driver's dream.

I don't know about mythical. Our intention is to make it legendary. It will carry a Z on it so anything less would be unacceptable.

I'm having an LSX-427 build in progress for my SS, it has forged internals, LSX heads, CAM, ProCharger and the upgraded fuel system.
We're estimating close to 800rwhp. and that's just scratching the surface. The same shop just completed a forged Z06 w/ LS7 a Vortech SC and it made 730rwhp.
I assure you the only ZL1 that will keep up to me will be the ZL1's that are modified with a stroker and SC that has more than a 1.9L capacity.

I'm sorry Pete but thats a 9% loss, and I just can't believe that it will be that efficient. If you say it will be 680ish at the crank, then I'd expect it to be somewhere around 590 to the wheel.
